What to Know

Critics Consensus

Not only is the movie's juvenile dialogue unbearable for adults, but the turtles' dopey and casual attitude towards physical violence makes them poor kids' role models.

I don't think my negative reaction is a case of a parent forgetting the sort of mindless entertainment that he himself enjoyed as a child; rather the turtle fights are more depressing than joyful. Go to Full Review Michael Sragow The New Yorker 08/06/2014
The artful grunge is gone -- and so's the edge. The whole movie is bright yet colorless Go to Full Review Michael Wilmington Los Angeles Times 08/06/2014
More dialogue-heavy and somewhat less frenetic, this sequel is somewhat more to my own taste. Go to Full Review Brian D. Johnson Maclean's Magazine 03/26/2019
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lI: The Secret Ooze is funnier, smarter and more entertaining than the original. Go to Full Review John Robinson Santa Cruz Sentinel 03/26/2019
I found myself sort of liking the turtles and you have to admit that "Cowabunga dude," is the perfect response to every question. Go to Full Review Felix Vasquez Jr. Cinema Crazed 06/19/2016
Nostalgia lens aside, it's a pretty crummy follow up to the 1990 movie. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Raman 2h I like it when the turtles personality it reminded me of the 1987 cartoon which was current at the time. What I didnt like is that they hardly used there weapons and the last fight scenes felt rushed to me I liked Tolka and Rhazar but I wouldve preferred bebop and rocksteady and keno was a good fighter they shouldve had him against tastu, and the turtles and shredder shouldve had that rematch from the first film and April shouldve been at the vanilla ice concert scene and the super shredder scene seemed rushed so Ill give it a B minus. See more Ryan 4h Glad to take my kids to see TMNT in theaters See more Elijah 4h Got the best seats in the theater and always enjoy a classic Ninja Turtle movie! 10/10 See more Alex...a little too Alex 4h It was pure nostalgia. I almost started dancing in front during ninja rap, but the kid was with me. Yes I did go crazy when Splinter saved the turtles lol. See more Justice 5h Totally Tubular Dude! See more Jeano F 1d what's not to like. a great movie with reclining chairs and popcorn See more Read all reviews
